19 Days After Its Relaunch, Social Network App Path Has 1.5 Million Downloads

Dave Morin launched his more private
Facebook startup, Path, twice. Path is a mobile social network that has a
strict limit on the number of people you can befriend.

Since its launch 19 days ago, the new version seems to be doing
well. In two and a half weeks, the app has gained about
300,000 daily active users, up from 10,000.

Morin tells TechCrunch's Alexia Tsotsis that people are sharing
"12
moments per second," including what time they go to bed and
what they eat for breakfast. More than one 1.5 million
people have downloaded the app since its relaunch. Tsotsis notes
that it took Path a whole year to get 1 million the first time
around.

Morin says that more things have been shared in the past few
weeks than in all of last year on Path, and Tsotsis says she
hears the app is getting 100,000 downloads each day.

We won't go so far as to say that Morin was smart to
turn down Google's rumored $100 million offer, but at least
he seems to be on to something with Path. We'll be curious to see
if there's a high drop off in usage once all of the buzz from its
relaunch dies down.
